The Range of RFID Technologies

Different RFID technologies provide users with a range of capability and cost choices. CoreRFID can help select the most relevant for the requirements in your business.

 

LF & HF Passive

Low Frequency and High Frequency passive tags have a low cost of implementation but relatively short read ranges.

 

UHF Passive

Ultra High Frequency passive tags are more expensive and the tags are generally larger but offer read ranges typically of up to 10 metres.

 

Semi-Passive

These systems have battery assisted tags that activate their on-board power when a reader is detected. More expensive than passive tags, semi-passive tags offer much greater read ranges.

 

Active

Active tags are similar to semi-passive tags in having on-board batteries. Active tags can announce their presence sometimes to existing network hardware rather than relying on a reader to trigger them.

ATEX Tags 

Specialised passive tags for use in explosive atmospheres.
